Navy Pillows!

I spend lots and lots of time searching for the right pillows for clients.
I’ve wanted to put together pillow round-ups by color for a while now, but haven’t had the time to get it done.
So, I started with a round-up of navy pillows, one of my favorite colors.
Although most of these pillows are spendy, the majority of them are made from quality designer fabrics.
You just can’t go wrong with quality fabrics.
I plan on doing many more pillow round-ups by color and will put a link on my sidebar for easy access.
I know this will be helpful for me in future design projects, and hopefully it will be for you too.
I have also pinned these pillows on my Pinterest page, so feel free to follow along!

DIY Halloween Goodie Bags

Everyday I rely on Doctors, Nurses, Aids, Housekeeping, and Food Services to accomplish my daily activities.
With Halloween approaching, I thought it would be fun to make a little goodie bag to show my appreciation.
I kept it really simple by mixing candy corn, cashews, and peanut butter m&m’s in a cute little orange paper container. The mixture of these 3 ingrediants is insanely delicious and quite addictive I must say.
I then wrapped them in cellophane, tied them with black ribbon, and added a cute black and white striped gift tag.
I wrote a simple little note on the card expressing how much I appreciate what these wonderful people do for me everyday, and of course wished them a Happy Halloween!
I purchased the orange paper containers, striped gift tags, cellophane, and ribbon all at Target.
It was so easy and I love how they turned out.
Hopefully this will bring a little cheer to the hospital staff on Halloween, and let’s be honest, it never hurts to get on their good side as well!

Animal Print Shop Nursery & Giveaway!

I saw a sneak peek of this nursery designed for The Animal Print Shop by Morgan Satterfield a couple weeks ago on Instagram and fell in love.
The finished space is pretty darn perfect if you ask me.
I love it’s simplicity and I love that womb chair!

And you can’t go wrong with a print from The Animal Print Shop.
Love the baby camel.

Kidney Stones?

Yesterday was the longest day of my life.
After 8 1/2 hours of intense back pain and stomach cramping I passed a kidney stone.
Just my luck. 
Wasn’t I hospitalized for pre-term labour? I guess kidney stones were just an added benefit.
Yes, that is a picture of my kidney stone…I couldn’t help it. That darn thing about killed me.
We were convinced that I was in labour and were very close to going in for a c-section.
Thank goodness baby Oakey stayed put, but I can’t believe how much pain a small kidney stone can cause!
Now that I got that out of the way, I am looking for some good luck…I just can’t seem to catch a break!
On a positive note, I hit 26 weeks yesterday!.
Week 25…you will not be missed.
